Marxist/Leninist hardliners is funny to me because FOSS kind of set me on the path to become a socialist. (Although I’m a libertarian not a ML)
I’ll never forget dialling into a work meeting with the corporate infosec team who we needed some guidance from.
Their rep shows up and it’s a fem-presenting person with pink cat-ear headphones.
I’m like oh fuck they sent the big guns, this is exactly who we needed to talk to. And I was right, we got exactly what we needed.
Was she wearing cargo pants? Did she have a subway map poster on her wall?
Not pictured: elitist chuds that are really angry about the trans and furry community, and think Linux and other open source communities were ruined by code of conducts.
They are unwelcome, and we troll and downvote them every time
Does Linux cause some amount of autism or is it the other way around? Nah, nevermind. It works and most other things in my life don’t.
It’s weird to think that Linux causes Autism, rather than to believe that Autism caused Linux.
Every sentence also ends in a :3

I don’t know where “🏳️⚧️” is, but all the girls from there are hot.
Linux users: people think about us
People: I wonder what’s for dinner
Conclusion: Windows, Mac and BSD users are cannibals
I think the abundance of trans women (≈ women who were raised as boys) is proof the social conditioning the only factor in why there aren’t more women in STEM fields. Women love this shit just as much as men, but they’re actively steered away from it.
(Yes, women face other challenges beyond lack of exposure, but I think all of them can be traced back to social factors as well, such as how men are conditioned to treat women.)
Broke my heart when my daughter at age 9 or 10 said one day that science was for boys. She went to a very progressive elementary school, I’m a software dev, and have no idea where that came from.
I have a different theory.
When you buy a desktop or laptop 99.9% of them will come with Windows preinstalled. Unless you get an Apple product, but than its 100% macOS.
So everyone running Linux has chosen to not go for the easy option, but spend some time and effort to install something they prefer.
So that immediately is a filter, where people that just go for the default easy option are filtered out.
So it makes total sense the Linux community has more people that are not afraid to choose a path they perfer instead of just doing what everyone else does, because doing something else is harder and for many people scary.
My experience (and this is purely anecdotal) is that the hacker/cybersecuruty community is also like this and has a lot of trans people compared to the total population.
I would argue that’s the cool part. You also have the average hyper racist neo-reactionary Suckless fossid user who thinks daring to write in anything other than C is “gay” or smth.
As a gay trans man, looking down on people who code in anything other than C is my toxic masculinity. Don’t let reactionaries take it away from me.
You’re not a real man if you use an IDE. Vim and gcc were good enough for the founding fathers (D & R), they’re good enough for me.
It’s either “how it looks” or “what it looks like”. You can’t mix and match.
Thank you, came here to say this. It really feels like people are fighting over having the worst grammar, like there’s something to win from it. Even basic stuff like this is apparently too hard to comprehend.
That is hardly basic if you aren’t a native speaker.
